What to Know

Critics Consensus

Second Noah has a surplus of good intentions, but this saccharine series overdoes it with an aspirational family who are too idyllic to be relatable.

Tom Shales Washington Post Sweet-natured but almost brutal in its banality. It's nice to be nice, but niceness alone doesn't make for an entertaining television show. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Carole Horst Variety Should click with younger [audiences] not looking for profound, probing entertainment. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle The cast is appealing, the writing is solid without being sappily obtrusive, and the chimpanzee doesn't hog the camera. In fact, the hog doesn't hog the camera either. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Not only [is this] series rife with solid family values and pro-social lessons, [it is] better than average entertainment. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Oddly enough, despite its many failings I just can't bring myself to dislike "Second Noah." It has its heart in the right place, and it's hard to root against a show that does contain those ever-elusive family values. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun It's sweet and sentimental enough in some ways to warrant the label "sugary" if not "saccharine"... But I don't care, I still kind of like it.
